DTC Descriptors
DTC P0641
- 5-Volt Reference 1 Circuit
DTC P0651
- 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) has a 5-volt reference buss for each 5-volt reference circuit. The circuits are called 5-volt reference 1 and 5-volt reference 2. Each buss provides a 5-volt reference for more than one sensor. A fault condition on one 5-volt reference circuit will affect the other 5-volt reference circuits connected to that reference buss. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, P0606, P0607, P060D, P062F and P2610 are not set.
* The ignition is ON.
* The ignition voltage is greater than 5.23 volts.
* The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects a voltage out of range condition on the 5-volt reference 1 or 2 buss for greater than 0.5 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0641 and P0651 are Type A DTCs
Diagnostic Aids
The 5-volt reference 1 buss provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
* The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
* The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
* The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2
* The air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor
* The camshaft position (CMP) sensor
* The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor
* The engine oil pressure sensor
The 5-volt reference 2 buss provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
* The APP sensor 1
* The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
* The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2
* The brake booster vacuum sensor
It may be possible to locate the fault by disconnecting one component at a time from the affected 5-volt reference circuit while viewing the 5-Volt Reference circuit status parameter on the scan tool. The scan tool parameter will change from Fault to OK when the source of the fault is disconnected. If all 5-volt reference components have been disconnected and a fault is still indicated, the fault may exist in the wiring harness.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Observe the scan tool 5-volt reference 1 circuit status and the 5-volt reference 2 circuit status parameters. Verify the parameters display OK.
2. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0641 and P0651 should not set on this ignition cycle.
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Important: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids for the appropriate sensors.
2. Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts between one of the 5-volt reference circuits and ground.
• If less than the specified range, test for a short to ground on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test for a short to voltage on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
3. Connect each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit, one at a time, while monitoring the voltage. Verify the voltage remains between 4.8-5.2 volts.
• If not within the specified range when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate component.
